Chapter Ninety-Three: Surrender Chen Qi
Just when Xiang Yu was suspicious, the soldiers in front of him suddenly fell to the ground in large numbers. If Xiang Yu does not rein in his horse at this time, he will definitely trample on the soldiers. This time, he didn't care about the black horse to oppose with a roar, and he stiffened his horse, wanting to stop and see the scene first. However, I don't know if it was because he reined in the reins too hard, or because the horse's hooves slipped, his black horse finally fell to the ground heavily, but fortunately, Xiang Yu had a high skill and jumped up in danger, otherwise he would have slid forward as heavily as the soldiers in front.
The soldiers' bodies could not fall on their own as if they were in a funnel, and they did not stop falling until they fell into some depression.
At this time, Xiang Yu understood, Ling'er's ice array was inclined all the way down, and the slope above was condensed into ice, fortunately there were no ice blades below, nor wolf teeth, just ice pits, although there was no worry about his life when he fell, but it was difficult to go out again if he fell, Xiang Yu suddenly understood that Ling'er just wanted to stop his elite soldiers, but he didn't mean to harm him, and he was merciful, otherwise with her spells, thousands of elite soldiers would be buried in her cold ice array in an instant, thinking of this, Xiang Yu had a trace of good feeling in his heart, but the people who blocked his progress had to be clearedγ
"Major General, General Zhuang, help!" shouted the soldiers in the ice pit below.
Xiang Yu said coldly: "Rescue them!" A pair of eyes glowed with a strange purple, like a monster, and the Seven Killing Sword in his sleeve was pointed directly at Ling'er's throat.
Seeing him like this, Ling'er's face suddenly changed color, a pair of eyebrows gradually rose, and he sneered: "Young General, it's okay to save them, as long as you promise not to kill the Qin soldiers and the people of Chengyang." β
Xiang Zhuang stared at Xiang Yu anxiously and angrily at this time, and said, "Big brother, since the Qin army has surrendered, and the people are extremely innocent, why do you have to meet each other?"
Although Xiang Yu was angry, he had already compromised a little in his heart when they said it, and with a flick of his sleeves, the Seven Killing Sword disappeared into his sleeves, standing in the wind, and he was proudly silent.
Liu Bang also said: Brother Xiang Yu, we attack the city and plunder the land, not only to occupy the city, but also to win the hearts of the people, not to kill unarmed soldiers and people.
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Yu was stunned, and was awakened by Liu Bang's words in a trance, maybe the things in the world really can't be solved by force, the strange color in his eyes gradually faded, and he suddenly said: "I don't care, you can do it." He turned and walked towards the tent
Xiang Zhuang and Ling'er Liu Bang let out a long sigh of relief, and Chengyang finally didn't have to shed blood.
After such an accident, Xiang Zhuang was afraid of changes in the city, so he immediately ordered the surrendered Qin army and all the residents to gather outside the city, and the young and middle-aged were conscripted into the Chu army, and the remaining men, women and children went home separately, so that Chengyang was no longer a threat to the Chu army, and the strength of the Chu army was strengthened.
For this disposition, Liu Bang and Ling'er had to admire Xiang Zhuang's maturity and wisdom, and Liu Bang had a little more admiration for Xiang Zhuang in his heart.
...............
Back in the camp, Princess Longji took Chen Qi to listen to the fall, Xiang Yu looked at Chen Qi with a cold face, although Chen Qi was bound, he stood and did not kneel.
Liu Bang asked: "You are already a person who has been surrendered, why do you stand and not kneel?"
Chen Qi smiled and said: "Since he has been bound and killed, what is the fear of the death of the eldest husband?"
Xiang Yu said angrily: "Such a bold child, causing our Chu army to suffer countless losses, dragged down and beheaded. β
The bilateral guards immediately dragged Chen Qi out, tied him to the stake, the executioner gave an order, and the cold and cold knife of the knife and axe hand was cut down, Chen Qi's head fell to the ground, and suddenly another head grew, and then another pair of hands were cut off in the blink of an eye, and the knife and axe hand was surprised, dropped the big knife, and hurriedly told Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and rushed to the execution ground to watch, and sure enough, it was just as the knife and axe man said.
Xiang Zhuang said: "Chen Qi is really a strange person, with strange skills, it is better to persuade him to surrender, and I have added another fierce general to the Great Chu." β
Liu Bang thought so deeply and said: "If this person is willing to surrender to my Great Chu, it is really a blessing." β
Xiang Zhuang then walked in front of Chen Qi in person, untied him, looked at Chen Qi with sincere eyes, bowed down and said: "General Chen has a unique skill, why not abandon the secret and surrender to my Great Chu, now Qin II is tyrannical and unreasonable, regardless of the life and death of the people, widely levy, the heavens and people are angry, and the people are ruined and displaced, why should the general lose his life for the unrighteous king, why not follow us to fight against the tyrannical Qin, and not waste the general's skills." β
Chen Qi saw that Xiang Zhuang's feelings were sincere, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's not that I am willing to surrender to the Chu army, it's just that I have repeatedly disobeyed the young general, and I am afraid that the young general will not accept me." β
Xiang Zhuang said happily: "The general's willingness to surrender is really a blessing for my great Chu and a blessing for the people, General Chen, don't misunderstand, just wait for me to tell the young general." β
Xiang Zhuang excitedly went to Xiang Yu's tent and bowed: "Big brother, now Chen Qi has been moved by the words of the younger brother, and he is willing to surrender now, just because he has made some mistakes in the past, and I am afraid that the eldest brother will not tolerate it." β
Although Xiang Yu was arrogant, he still appreciated Chen Qi's spells, and said with a smile: "In the past, it was because they were hostile to each other, each for its own master; β
After a while, Chen Qi straightened his clothes, bowed down in front of the big tent and said: "The last general Chen Qi acted against the sky, did not know the practice, and the young general was tired of planning. Today, he was captured and forgiven, and this grace and virtue are unforgettable. Xiang Yu hurriedly went up to help him up and comforted: "General Chen is loyal and brave, and he doesn't know other traitorous villains. Qin II has no way, self-isolation from the king, non-courtiers are not loyal to the country, the general is willing to surrender to my Great Chu, it is really the blessing of my Great Chu, don't be suspicious of yourself. Chen Qi's anxious heart finally landed, and he was grateful.
As night fell, the lights came on, and a grand little banquet was being held.
The headlights around the Chinese army's tent reflect the tent as if it were daytime.
Xiang Yu and Princess Longji sat in the middle of the top respectively, Liu Bang and Xiang Zhuang led the generals to sit on both sides in turn, Chen Qi was ceremoniously arranged in the middle of the seat, the singing and dancing in the tent was leveled, the fat and fat on the table were thick, and the good guests on the seat were staggered between the drums and blows, and Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated in his heart.
A dancer in front of the banquet is Liu Bang's dancing girl Qi Ji, wearing pure white silk clothes, dancing with long sleeves, delicate appearance, beautiful and lovely, a little weak and helpless in her eyes, Xiang Yu looked at her with weakness in her eyes, and felt a little bit of Yu Ji's feeling, and her thoughts drifted to where Yu Ji was, hoping to find her to marry.
Xiang Zhuang's eyes did not stay on her, he only had Ling'er in his eyes, but Ling'er was focused on eating at this time, where he had been fighting, Xiang Zhuang smiled lovingly and watched her gobble, occasionally saying a word or two, like a breeze hitting her heart softly.
At this time, a person dressed as a Taoist came outside and asked to meet, Xiang Yu was in a happy mood at this time, so he asked the attendant to invite him in.
The man was dressed in black, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he was still carrying a bag on his back, and he was gently seen floating in.
Xiang Zhuang and Ling'er were shocked, isn't this Yue Lao? Why did he come.
